In this program, the audacious satirical puppet team of Roger Law and Peter Fluck take viewers on an intriguing tour of political and social satire through caricature. Ranging from James Gillray’s lampooning of King George III to Ralph Steadman’s savaging of Richard Nixon, the program illustrates how masters of caricature have shaped public opinion through the mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture, and puppetry. The work of Honoré Daumier and archival footage of George Grosz, Otto Dix, and David Lowe further underscore the power of satirical caricature to unmask—and to skewer. (57 minutes)
